i belive that iTunes only works on Windows 2000 and XP, which wont run too well on the xbox... if at all.

check the sys requirements for iTunes on apple.com or something.

wait... wait...
straight from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/....

Windows System Requirements
Windows XP or 2000
500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
QuickTime 6.5.2 (included)
128 MB RAM minimum/256 RAM recommended
Latest Windows service packs recommended
Supported CD-RW drive to burn CDs, video display card, soundcard
DSL, cable modem, or LAN-based high-speed Internet connection recommended for buying and streaming music

ohh... slap to the face.... sorry man.  becides, why defile your nice MS Xbox with a hidious Apple Product...
(shudders at the thought of the Xbox 2 with PowerPC Processers...)

excuse me I disagree Apple and macintosh Has always been a better computer. No viruses no computer crashing. The only problem is not a whole lot of software for it though. Have heard that its easy to convert the computer programs to it. So macintosh and apple will always be better. I still love xbox though

Macs are great for people age less than 10.  Anyone who wants to use if for any sort of high level computing is screwed.  Yes there are easy ways to run PC programs on it, its called a windows emulator.   Only runs about 10 times slower than the mac.  Macs also cost a shitload to get any decent computing.  Who ever told you that they don't have viruses?  The count is few because no self respecting hacker/virus writer uses a mac.

I've never heard of a computer programing school before.  I don't think you know what you are talking about.

I've heard of computer science, computer engineering, software engineering etc.  I'm not ignorant I was just claiming that revengeismyfury does not know what he is talking about.

PS I think Java sucks too.

oh yay, another lame M$ vs Apple fanboy pissing contest. how...meaningful and intellectual. i can't believe anyone really thinks they're going to prove to anyone with the opposite opinion that they're in fact wrong and should change their computing philosophy...in a goddamn forum about Xbox. get real.

seriously, i don't think there's a way you can get iTunes to work on the Xbox. of course it would be easy enough to build in a charging dock but you wouldn't be able to up/download anything.  maybe when Xenon comes out, some clever modder will figure out a way to get OS X to run on it...

i tried to weed out the off-topic posts and split them off, but its too much

suffice it to say there is no way to get itunes working on an xbox

*thread closed*

BTW, to revengeismyfury, macs (at least the ones ive used) crash just as much as PCs
